Wine or the sexy, sweet gift from the gods

Wine is the sunlight, held
together by water. It begins with the
soil, the vine, the grape – the smell of the vineyard like inhaling birth awakens
something ancestral, primordial…deeply imprinted and subconsciously placed in
the soul.

A glass, a bottle, an entire cellar. Whether it’s sweet, oaky, or dry; spicy, earthy or complex; be it a red variety,
a white, or something in between. A gorgeous, aromatic, beckoning glass
offering a tantalizing dance on the taste buds. Why is it so tempting to watch
this divine liquid fill the glass and inevitably quench an inexplicable thirst
for the promise of an unexpected bouquet of flavors?

The beauty of this amazing nectar is in the many
personalities it can take – seductive, playful, sophisticated, feisty – a
virtual chameleon of essence orchestrating feeling and emotion with just one
sip. It is the earth and the elements
combined with faith and patience that gives the bounty, feeding the soul as
well as the senses. Salud.
